The U.S. Department of Treasury’s gift to electric-vehicle shoppers (and global automakers) for the new year was to make many more EVs and plug-in hybrids eligible for the federal tax subsidy of up to $7,500 — including vehicles built outside North America — as long as drivers lease them or buy used rather than buy new.

EV credits and [rules] took effect Jan. 1.

One category extends the former credit of up to $7,500 for consumers buying new EVs and PHEVs, but it puts new limits on vehicle price and buyer income and will soon add requirements for the sourcing of EV batteries and materials. Additionally, since August [2022], it has required that the vehicles be assembled in North America.

A second is a new credit of up to $4,000 for buyers of used EVs.

A third is a “commercial” credit for businesses acquiring EVs. It offers up to $7,500 for light-duty vehicles (under 14,000 pounds) and up to $40,000 for heavier vehicles. Significantly, the commercial credit does not have the origin, price or other restrictions of the credit for consumer buyers.

On top of all that, the Department of Treasury guidance released at the end of December allows the less restrictive commercial credit to also apply to vehicles leased by consumers; that means most plug-in and fuel-cell EVs currently on the market can qualify, including those built in Europe or Asia. The credit goes to the leasing company — the vehicle owner — but it can be passed to the consumer in the form of lower lease payments.

The new federal rules do not affect state and local subsidies available for EV buyers [which may be able to get you even more savings].

Hey bitches! I have a question for you about cars! My friend and I ended up buying the same make, model, and year of a car at roughly the same time almost five years ago. She mentioned that she is thinking of trading in her car to get a new one. To me, this is inconceivable—I come from a family that was a maintain-repair-sell for scraps when it’s truly dead and gone kind of family. My first car at 16 was as old and this was the first car I ever bought new and have planned to keep it 10+ years. I think she views having a newer car as a kind of investment since cars do depreciate over time. It doesn’t seem like it’s smarter to do financially on the surface, but is it? Am I wrong?

You're right, your friend is wrong.

Cars DO depreciate as soon as your drive them off the sales lot. They're in no way an investment (with a few exceptions). The most financially efficient way to own a car is to pay cash, keep it in good repair for as long as possible, then get rid of it when it is no longer affordable to repair. My last car was 15 years old when I sold it for parts. I plan on driving my current car until it's at least 15. Then I'll pay cash for another relatively young USED car.

Here's our philosophy on car-buying, in a two-part nutshell, my dove:

Hey Bitches! It's going to be time for me to finally get a car in the next few months. My 1 hour (minimum) commute each way on the bus had been slowly killing me for 2.5 years. Especially when the bus stops service suddenly due to bad weather (while I'm still at work) or the fact that the last bus leaves at 5 on Sundays (so I can't go out). I'll have about 3K for the down payment and I'm hoping for about 12-13K approved from my bank for a loan. I've had friends say that I can get a $20K car, but those number don't add up. I assume they mean to negotiate down to 15-16K, but that's a lot of money for the dealership to give up! Can you give any advice for me? I'm ready to have a 20 min (on average) commute! I'll have the time to actually cook dinner regularly instead of frozen meals. I'll so excited but I just don't know about the process. Thank you! Have a great day!!

Darling child, we are SO proud of you for taking control of your commute like this. I remember my 4-hour round trip commuting by bus days. Buying a car was life-changing. Of course, now I commute twice a week by bus, but it's a 20-minute trip instead. ANYWAY.

Below is our advice on buying a car. Read it carefully and ignore your friends. Only YOU can decide how much you're willing to spend on a car. And that car MUST be used. Read on to find out why:
